FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to heterocyclic amides that inhibit RIP1kinase and methods of making and using the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Receptor-interacting protein-1 (RIP1) kinase, originally referred to asRIP, is a TKL family serine/threonine protein kinase involved in innateimmune signaling. RIP1 kinase is a RHIM domain containing protein, withan N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal death domain ((2005) TrendsBiochem. Sci. 30, 151-159). The death domain of RIP1 mediatesinteraction with other death domain containing proteins including Fasand TNFR-1 ((1995) Cell 81 513-523), TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2 ((1997)Immunity 7, 821-830) and TRADD ((1996) Immunity 4, 387-396), while theRHIM domain is crucial for binding other RHIM domain containing proteinssuch as TRIF ((2004) Nat Immunol. 5, 503-507), DAI ((2009) EMBO Rep. 10,916-922) and RIP3 ((1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 16871-16875); (1999) Curr.Biol. 9, 539-542) and exerts many of its effects through theseinteractions. RIP1 is a central regulator of cell signaling, and isinvolved in mediating both pro-survival and programmed cell deathpathways which will be discussed below.

The role for RIP1 in cell signaling has been assessed under variousconditions [including TLR3 ((2004) Nat Immunol. 5, 503-507), TLR4((2005) J. Biol. Chem. 280, 36560-36566), TRAIL ((2012) J. Virol. Epub,ahead of print), FAS ((2004) J. Biol. Chem. 279, 7925-7933)], but isbest understood in the context of mediating signals downstream of thedeath receptor TNFR1 ((2003) Cell 114, 181-190). Engagement of the TNFRby TNF leads to its oligomerization, and the recruitment of multipleproteins, including linear K63-linked polyubiquitinated RIP1 ((2006)Mol. Cell 22, 245-257), TRAF2/5 ((2010) J. Mol. Biol. 396, 528-539),TRADD ((2008) Nat. Immunol. 9, 1037-1046) and cIAPs ((2008) Proc. Natl.Acad. Sci. USA. 105, 11778-11783), to the cytoplasmic tail of thereceptor. This complex which is dependent on RIP1 as a scaffoldingprotein (i.e. kinase independent), termed complex I, provides a platformfor pro-survival signaling through the activation of the NFκB and MAPkinases pathways ((2010) Sci. Signal. 115, re4). Alternatively, bindingof TNF to its receptor under conditions promoting the deubiquitinationof RIP1 (by proteins such as A20 and CYLD or inhibition of the cIAPs)results in receptor internalization and the formation of complex II orDISC (death-inducing signaling complex) ((2011) Cell Death Dis. 2,e230). Formation of the DISC, which contains RIP1, TRADD, FADD andcaspase 8, results in the activation of caspase 8 and the onset ofprogrammed apoptotic cell death also in a RIP1 kinase independentfashion ((2012) FEBS J 278, 877-887). Apoptosis is largely a quiescentform of cell death, and is involved in routine processes such asdevelopment and cellular homeostasis.

Under conditions where the DISC forms and RIP3 is expressed, butapoptosis is inhibited (such as FADD/caspase 8 deletion, caspaseinhibition or viral infection), a third RIP1 kinase-dependentpossibility exists. RIP3 can now enter this complex, becomephosphorylated by RIP1 and initiate a caspase-independent programmednecrotic cell death through the activation of MLKL and PGAM5 ((2012)Cell 148, 213-227); ((2012) Cell 148, 228-243); ((2012) Proc. Natl.Acad. Sci. USA. 109, 5322-5327). As opposed to apoptosis, programmednecrosis (not to be confused with passive necrosis which is notprogrammed) results in the release of danger associated molecularpatterns (DAMPs) from the cell. These DAMPs are capable of providing a“danger signal” to surrounding cells and tissues, elicitingproinflammatory responses including inflammasome activation, cytokineproduction and cellular recruitment ((2008 Nat. Rev. Immunol 8,279-289).

Dysregulation of RIP1 kinase-mediated programmed cell death has beenlinked to various inflammatory diseases, as demonstrated by use of theRIP3 knockout mouse (where RIP1-mediated programmed necrosis iscompletely blocked) and by Necrostatin-1 (a tool inhibitor of RIP1kinase activity with poor oral bioavailability). The RIP3 knockout mousehas been shown to be protective in inflammatory bowel disease (includingUlcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) ((2011) Nature 477, 330-334),Psoriasis ((2011) Immunity 35, 572-582), retinal-detachment-inducedphotoreceptor necrosis ((2010) PNAS 107, 21695-21700), retinitispigmentosa ((2012) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 109:36, 14598-14603),cerulein-induced acute pancreatits ((2009) Cell 137, 1100-1111) andSepsis/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) ((2011) Immunity35, 908-918). Necrostatin-1 has been shown to be effective inalleviating ischemic brain injury ((2005) Nat. Chem. Biol. 1, 112-119),retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury ((2010) J. Neurosci. Res. 88,1569-1576), Huntington's disease ((2011) Cell Death Dis. 2 el15), renalischemia reperfusion injury ((2012) Kidney Int. 81, 751-761), cisplatininduced kidney injury ((2012) Ren. Fail. 34, 373-377) and traumaticbrain injury ((2012) Neurochem. Res. 37, 1849-1858). Other diseases ordisorders regulated at least in part by RIP1-dependent apoptosis,necrosis or cytokine production include hematological and solid organmalignancies ((2013) Genes Dev. 27: 1640-1649), bacterial infections andviral infections ((2014) Cell Host & Microbe 15, 23-35) (including, butnot limited to, tuberculosis and influenza ((2013) Cell 153, 1-14)) andLysosomal storage diseases (particularly, Gaucher Disease, NatureMedicine Advance Online Publication, 19 Jan. 2014, doi: 10.1038/nm.3449).

A potent, selective, small molecule inhibitor of RIP1 kinase activitywould block RIP1-dependent cellular necrosis and thereby provide atherapeutic benefit in diseases or events associated with DAMPs, celldeath, and/or inflammation.

The compounds of this invention contain one or more asymmetric centers(also referred to as a chiral center), such as a chiral carbon, or achiral —SO— moiety. The stereochemistry of the chiral carbon centerpresent in compounds of this invention is generally represented in thecompound names and/or in the chemical structures illustrated herein.Compounds of this invention containing one or more chiral centers may bepresent as racemic mixtures, diastereomeric mixtures, enantiomericallyenriched mixtures, diastereomerically enriched mixtures, or asenantiomerically or diastereomerically pure individual stereoisomers.

Individual stereoisomers of a compound of this invention may be resolved(or mixtures of stereoisomers may be enriched) using methods known tothose skilled in the art. For example, such resolution may be carriedout (1) by formation of diastereoisomeric salts, complexes or otherderivatives; (2) by selective reaction with a stereoisomer-specificreagent, for example by enzymatic oxidation or reduction; or (3) bygas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, forexample, on a chiral support such as silica with a bound chiral ligandor in the presence of a chiral solvent. The skilled artisan willappreciate that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into anotherchemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, afurther step is required to liberate the desired form. Alternatively,specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis usingoptically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or byconverting one enantiomer to the other by asymmetric transformation.

The invention also includes various deuterated forms of the compounds ofthis invention, a specific example of which isN-[(3S)-7-deuterio-1-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-3-yl]-5-(phenylmethyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide.Each available hydrogen atom attached to a carbon atom may beindependently replaced with a deuterium atom. A person of ordinary skillin the art will know how to synthesize deuterated forms of the compoundsof this invention. For example, α-deuterated α-amino acids arecommercially available or may be prepared by conventional techniques(see for example: Elemes, Y. and Ragnarsson, U. J. Chem. Soc., PerkinTrans. 1, 1996, 6, 537-40). Employing such compounds may allow for thepreparation of compounds in which the hydrogen atom at a chiral centeris replaced with a deuterium atom. Other commercially availabledeuterated starting materials may be employed in the preparation ofdeuterated analogs of the compounds of this invention (see for example:methyl-d₃-amine available from Aldrich Chemical Co., Milwaukee, Wis.),or they may be synthesized using conventional techniques employingdeuterated reagents (e.g. by reduction using lithium aluminum deuterideor sodium borodeuteride or by metal-halogen exchange followed byquenching with D₂O or methanol-d₃).

The skilled artisan will appreciate that solvates (particularly,hydrates) of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound of anyone of Formulas (I-IV), including solvates of salts of a compound ofFormula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV), maybe formed when solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystallinelattice during crystallization. The present invention includes withinits scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric salt and/orhydrate forms.

When a disclosed compound or its salt is named or depicted by structure,it is to be understood that the compound or salt, including solvates(particularly, hydrates) thereof, may exist in crystalline forms,non-crystalline forms or a mixture thereof. The compound or salt, orsolvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, may also exhibit polymorphism(i.e. the capacity to occur in different crystalline forms). Thesedifferent crystalline forms are typically known as “polymorphs.” It isto be understood that when named or depicted by structure, the disclosedcompound, or solvates (particularly, hydrates) thereof, also include allpolymorphs thereof. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition butdiffer in packing, geometrical arrangement, and other descriptiveproperties of the crystalline solid state. Polymorphs, therefore, mayhave different physical properties such as shape, density, hardness,deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphstypically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powderdiffraction patterns, which may be used for identification. One ofordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different polymorphs maybe produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the conditions usedin crystallizing/recrystallizing the compound. It is well known andunderstood to those skilled in the art that the apparatus employed,humidity, temperature, orientation of the powder crystals, and otherparameters involved in obtaining a powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD)pattern may cause some variability in the appearance, intensities, andpositions of the lines in the diffraction pattern. A powder X-raydiffraction pattern that is “substantially in accordance” with that ofthe Figure provided herein is a PXRD pattern that would be considered byone skilled in the art to represent a compound possessing the samecrystal form as the compound that provided the PXRD pattern of theFigure. For example, the PXRD pattern may be identical to that of FIG.7, or more likely it may be somewhat different. Such a PXRD pattern maynot necessarily show each of the lines of the diffraction patternspresented herein, and/or may show a slight change in appearance,intensity, or a shift in position of said lines resulting fromdifferences in the conditions involved in obtaining the data. A personskilled in the art is capable of determining if a sample of acrystalline compound has the same form as, or a different form from, aform disclosed herein by comparison of their PXRD patterns. For example,one skilled in the art can overlay a PXRD pattern of a sample of acrystalline form of anhydrous(S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide(free base) with the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7, and using expertise andknowledge in the art, readily determine whether the PXRD pattern of thesample is substantially in accordance with the PXRD pattern of FIG. 7.If the PXRD pattern is substantially in accordance with FIG. 7, thesample form can be readily and accurately identified as having the sameform as the crystalline form of anhydrous(S)-5-benzyl-N-(5-methyl-4-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo[b][1,4]oxazepin-3-yl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide(free base) described herein. Similarly, a person skilled in the art iscapable of determining if a given diffraction angle (expressed in ° 20)obtained from a PXRD pattern is at about the same position as a recitedvalue.

Because of their potential use in medicine, the salts of the compoundsof Formula (I), particularly a compound of any one of Formulas (I-IV),are preferably pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceuticallyacceptable salts can include acid or base addition salts.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means a compoundwhich is suitable for pharmaceutical use. Salts and solvates (e.g.hydrates and hydrates of salts) of the compounds of the invention whichare suitable for use in medicine are those wherein the counterion orassociated solvent is pharmaceutically acceptable. Salts and solvateshaving non-pharmaceutically acceptable counterions or associatedsolvents are within the scope of the present invention, for example, foruse as intermediates in the preparation of other compounds of theinvention and their salts and solvates.

Salts may be prepared in situ during the final isolation andpurification of a compound of Formula (I), particularly a compound ofany one of Formulas (I-IV). If a basic compound of Formula (I-IV) isisolated as a salt, the corresponding free base form of that compoundmay be prepared by any suitable method known to the art, includingtreatment of the salt with an inorganic or organic base, suitably aninorganic or organic base having a higher pK_(a) than the free base formof the compound. Similarly, if a disclosed compound containing acarboxylic acid or other acidic functional group is isolated as a salt,the corresponding free acid form of that compound may be prepared by anysuitable method known to the art, including treatment of the salt withan inorganic or organic acid, suitably an inorganic or organic acidhaving a lower pK_(a) than the free acid form of the compound. Thisinvention also provides for the conversion of one salt of a compound ofthis invention, e.g., a hydrochloride salt, into another salt of acompound of this invention, e.g., a sulfate salt.

Salts of the compounds of Formula (I), particularly compounds ofFormulas (I-IV), containing a basic amine or other basic functionalgroup may be prepared by any suitable method known in the art, such astreatment of the free base with an acid. Examples of pharmaceuticallyacceptable salts so formed include acetate, adipate, ascorbate,aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, camphorate, camphor-sulfonate(camsylate), caprate (decanoate), caproate (hexanoate), caprylate(octanoate), carbonate, bicarbonate, cinnamate, citrate, cyclamate,dodecyl sulfate (estolate), ethane-1,2-disulfonate (edisylate),ethanesulfonate (esylate), formate, fumarate, galactarate (mucate),gentisate (2,5-dihydroxybenzoate), glucoheptonate (gluceptate),gluconate, glucuronate, glutamate, glutarate, glycerophosphorate,glycolate, hippurate, hydrobromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide,isobutyrate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, maleate, malate, malonate,mandelate, methanesulfonate (mesylate), naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate(napadisylate), naphthalene-sulfonate (napsylate), nicotinate, nitrate,oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate, diphosphate,proprionate, pyroglutamate, salicylate, sebacate, stearate, succinate,sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate (tosylate),undecylenate, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, 2,2-dichloroacetate,2-hydroxyethanesulfonate (isethionate), 2-oxoglutarate,4-acetamidobenzoate, and 4-aminosalicylate.

Biological In Vitro Assay

A fluorescent polarization based binding assay was developed toquantitate interaction of novel test compounds at the ATP binding pocketof RIP1, by competition with a fluorescently labeled ATP competitiveligand. GST-RipK1 (1-375) was purified from a Baculovirus expressionsystem and was used at a final assay concentration of 10 nM. Afluorescent labeled ligand(14-(2-{[3-({2-{[4-(cyanomethyl)phenyl]amino}-6-[(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]-4-pyrimidinyl}amino)propyl]amino}-2-oxoethyl)-16,16,18,18-tetramethyl-6,7,7a,8a,9,10,16,18-octahydrobenzo[2″,3″]indolizino[8″,7″:5′,6′]pyrano[3′,2′:3,4]pyrido[1,2-a]indol-5-ium-2-sulfonate(prepared as described below) was used at a final assay concentration of5 nM. Both the enzyme and ligand were prepared in solutions in 50 mMHEPES pH7.5, 10 mM NaCl, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM DTT, and 0.02% CHAPS. Testcompounds were prepared in neat DMSO and 100 nL was dispensed toindividual wells of a multiwell plate. Next, 5 ul GST-RipK1 (1-375) wasadded to the test compounds at twice the final assay concentration, andincubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Following the incubation,5 ul of the fluorescent labeled ligand solution, was added to eachreaction, at twice the final assay concentration, and incubated at roomtemperature for at least 15 minutes. Finally, samples were read on aninstrument capable of measuring fluorescent polarization. Test compoundinhibition was expressed as percent (%) inhibition of internal assaycontrols. For concentration response experiments, normalized data werefit and pIC₅₀s determined using conventional techniques. The pIC₅₀s areaveraged to determine a mean value, for a minimum of 2 experiments.

As determined using the above method, the compounds of Examples 1-286exhibited a pIC₅₀ between approximately 5.0 and 9.0. For instance, thecompounds of Examples 12, 91, 102, 161, 163 and 169 inhibited RIP1kinase in the above method with a mean pIC₅₀ of approximately 7.6, 7.6,7.8, 7.9, 7.9 and 7.2 respectively. Continued testing resulted in aslight change in the reported average pIC₅₀ for these compounds (Example161 (7.7) and Example 169 (7.3)).

The solvent wasremoved in vacuo and the crude material was dissolved in ethyl acetate.The solution was washed with water and dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered andevaporated to give a beige solid. Pure product was obtained as a whitecrystalline solid after recrystallisation from acetonitrile. It waspossible to obtain a second crop. From two runs performed under the sameconditions, 29.0 g (88%) of2,6-dichloro-N-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine. Theproduct contained ˜10% acetonitrile but was carried through to the nextstep regardless.

A suspension of(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-(2,6-dichloro-pyrimidin-4-yl)-amine(25.8 g, 0.1 mol) and 4-aminophenylacetonitrile (Alfa, 13.91 g, 0.11mol) in diisopropylethylamine (Alfa, 342 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for16 hours under Ar (balloon). The resultant gummy suspension wasdissolved in DCM, washed with water and dried (Na₂SO₄), filtered andconcentrated. When the DCM was reduced to a small volume the materialwas left to stand and the product dropped out of solution. Afterfiltration and washing with DCM, formation of2-(4-((4-chloro-6-((5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)phenyl)acetonitrilewas obtained as a beige powder (10.6 g, 30.3%).

GST-RipK1 Preparation: His.GST.TEV.RIPK1 1-375

The RIPK1 gene [receptor (TNFRSF)-interacting serine-threonine kinase 1]was cloned from human adrenal gland cDNA. Primers were designed from thereference sequence NM_003804.3 with an added CACC Kozak directional tagfor cloning into pENTR/TEV/D-TOPO. Gateway® LR cloning was used tosite-specifically recombine RIPK1 downstream to an N-terminal HisGSTcontained within the destination vector pDEST8-His.GST according to theprotocol described by Invitrogen. A stop codon was inserted after aminoacid 375 using Quikchange Stratagene mutagenesis kit according tomanufacturer's protocol and resulted in pDEST8.His.GST.TEV.human RIPK11-375. His.GST.Tev.human RIPK1 1-375 baculovirus was generated using thebac to bac system (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer'sspecifications. Transfection of Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9) insect cellswas performed using Fugene 6 (Roche), according to the manufacturer'sprotocol. His.GST.TEV.human RIPK1 1-375 baculovirus infected insectcells (BIICs) were prepared during the baculovirus generation accordingto David Wasilko and S Edward Lee, TIPS: Titerless Infected CellsPreservation and Scale up, BioProcessing Journal Fall 2006 p 29-32. 20 LSf9 cells were grown in serum free Hyclone, SFX media (HyCloneLaboratories, 925 West 1800 South Logan, Utah 84321) at 27° C. in wavebags seeded at a density of 8×10^6 cell/ml with a rock rate of 25 rpm,airflow of 0.18 to 0.22. in wave reactor (WAVE Bioreactor, System20/50EH). Cells were grown ON at 27 C. His.GST.TEV.human RIPK1 1-375baculovirus infected insect cells (BIICs) were used to infect Sf9s at acell density of 1.7 to 2.4×10^6. 2 ml of BIIC (1×10^7 cells/mL) wereadded to 20 L cells. Rock rate is increased to 25 rom at infection.Harvest 72 hrs post infection using the Viafuge. Weigh pellets, sealwave bags and freeze at −80.

A 50 g cell pellet was re-suspended in 250 ml lysis buffer (50 mM TrispH 7.5, 250 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT and Complete Protease Inhibitor tablets(1/50 ml, from Roche Diagnostics). The cells were lysed by sonication onice, 3×30″ at power level 4 using the large probe on a BransonSonicator. The suspension was then clarified by centrifugation at 15,000g for 30 minutes, at 4° C. The lysate was decanted from the insolublepellet and batch bound to 10 ml of Glutathione Agarose (Pierce) for 2 hat 4 C with gentle end over end rotation. The beads were then packedinto a column and washed to baseline with lysis buffer (no proteaseinhibitors) and then eluted with 20 mM reduced glutathione in 50 mMTris, pH8.

Fractions identified by SDS-PAGE as containing protein of interest werepooled (10 ml total volume), concentrated to about 5 ml and loaded ontoa 300 ml SDX200 SEC column (GE Healthcare) which had been equilibratedin 50 mM Tris, pH7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT and 10% Glycerol. The Rip1protein eluted as a dimer off the SEC column.

The protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay using BSA asa standard. The yield was 12.5 mg at 0.63 mg/ml. The purity was >95% asdetermined by scanning a Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE gel.

LCMS analysis showed that the major species had lost the N-terminalmethionine, was acetylated and had one phosphorylated site. The proteinwas aliquoted and frozen at −80° C. for use as needed.

Biological In Vivo Assay

The efficacy of RIP1 inhibitors can be tested in mice in vivo using aTNF-driven systemic inflammatory response syndrome model (Duprez, L., etal. 2011. Immunity 35(6):908-918). The model can be run in a longmodality (using TNF alone i.v.) which results in the termination of thestudy in 7 hrs (under IACUC guidelines for temperature loss) or a shortmodality (using TNF plus the caspase inhibitor zVAD i.v.) which needs tobe terminated at ˜3 hrs (under IACUC guidelines for temperature loss).TNF (or TNF/zVAD) induced manifestations include temperature loss, theproduction of numerous cytokines (including IL-6, IL-1b, MIP1β and MIP2)in the periphery, liver and intestinal inflammation and an increase ofmarkers of cellular (LDH and CK) and liver damage (AST and ALT) in theserum. Inhibition of these TNF (or TNF/zVAD) induced manifestations canbe shown by orally or IP pre-dosing with selected compounds of thisinvention.

Each test compound is run through the TNF/zVAD and TNF (alone) versionsof the model. For example, mice (7 mice per group) were orally pre-dosedwith vehicle or test compound at 50 mg/kg 15 minutes before i.v.administration of mouse TNF (30 m/mouse) and zVAD (0.4 mg/mouse)simultaneously. Temperature loss in the mice was measured by rectalprobe. The study was terminated when the control group lost 7 degrees,per our IACUC protocol. Representative data expressed over time or atthe 2.5 hour time point is provided in FIGS. 1A, 1B, 4A and 4B,respectively. All data are shown as means±standard error of the mean.Data for compounds tested in this model are provided in Table 2.

In addition to the TNF/zVAD model, each compound is also tested in a TNFalone model. For the TNF (alone) version of the model, mice (7 mice pergroup) were orally pre-dosed with vehicle or test compound at 50 mg/kg15 minutes before i.v. administration of mouse TNF (30 m/mouse). Anexample of the TNF (alone) model over time and at the 6 hour time pointcan be seen in FIGS. 2A, 2B, 5A and 5B, respectively. All data are shownas means±standard error of the mean. Data for compounds tested in thismodel are provided in Table 3.

Cell 137(6):1100-1111). Cellswere maintained in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum 100U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin. For the assay, cells weresuspended at 5e5 cells/ml in phenol red free RPMI supplemented with 1%fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin.Thirty-five (35) ul of the cell suspension was aliquotted into a white,half area assay plate. Five (5) ul each of QVD (final concentration 50uM) or compound was added to the cells and incubated at 37° C. for 30min to 1 h. Following the incubation, 5 ul TNFα (final concentration 100ng/ml) was added to the cells and the samples were incubated overnight.The next day, cellular levels of ATP was determined using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability kit (available from PromegaCorporation, Madison, Wis., USA). For example, L929 (FIG. 3A) or U937(FIG. 3B) cells were treated with vehicle or 10 μM of Example 77. Forexample, L929 (FIG. 6A) or U937 (FIG. 6B) cells were treated withvehicle or indicated concentrations of the compound of Example 161.Viability was measured by quantitating cellular levels of ATP using theCell Titer-Glo kit. All data are shown as means±standard deviation ofthe mean.
